Profile: Trayvon Robinson was known more for his legs than his power as he ascended the Minor League ranks. He stole 47 bases in 2009 and another 43 in 2010, only to see him stop running and start slugging in 2011 as he belted 26 home runs and drove in 71 runs in 2011 with just nine swipes in 100 games. After being traded to the Mariners late in the season, Robinson was given an extended look and what we saw was an incredibly impatient hitter (5.2% walk rate) with a staggering strikeout rate (39.4%) leading to a .210/.250/.336 line over 150 plate appearances. Until Robinson can get his swinging strike rate under control, he’s never going to hit for a decent average. While he flashed an impressive amount of power in Triple-A, there’s not much to suggest that he can give you fantasy squad much more than 12-14 home runs with a full time gig. It’s likely he will platoon in left with a whole host of other candidates and it’s not out of the question that he starts in the minors to start the season either, so his playing time is seriously in question. Robinson is a better dynasty league investment than a gamble that he’ll provide any value in 2012. (Michael Barr)

The Quick Opinion: Robinson doesn’t have a starting job headed into 2012 and his contact rates don’t bode well for his success at the major league level. He has some power and speed, but there are red flags galore.

Profile: Trayvon Robinson was given an extended look in Seattle and that look demonstrated a serious deficiency in making contact with the baseball and an almost obsessive intent on striking out. After a 2011 Triple-A performance that turned a lot of heads with 26 home runs over just 400+ plate appearances, it really says something that an offensively-starved team traded him for a player with a career wRC+ of 67 simply because that acquisition could play the infield. Robinson now finds himself in Baltimore where he'll fight to keep himself on the big league squad. He's young enough and he's had enough success at high levels of the minors that he could turn things around, but it's probably not going to be this season. A deep league flyer at best for 2013.

The Quick Opinion: For the offensively starved Seattle Mariners, Trayvon Robinson was worse than Eric Thames and Eric Thames was pretty lucky to be on a major league roster in 2012. That's probably all you need to know. An Oriole now, Robinson will try to improve enough to be a bat off the bench.
